Ok maybe I’m misunderstanding the ban but the book isn’t transmitting data is it?

I thought the TikTok ban was based on who has access to the data, not that the data exists.

I’m pretty certain transcribing confidential information into a book and calling it free speech wouldn’t circumvent the laws restricting access to that info.
